- Biographical Information
- My pictures are made from direct observation at sites within a few miles of my home in Portland; many require finish work in my studio as well. They are pictures of large, deep spaces seen under particular kinds of light. Some of the spaces have been emptied out by bodies of water. Others have been marked off into grids by people, as in plowed fields or orchards. A few of the spaces seem collapsed up to the picture plane by the peculiarity of the light. Deep space is one of nature's most spectacular objects of contemplation (and another vanishing natural resource). I am most grateful for the hours of quiet celebration of nature that the making of these pictures affords me. My pictures are made with oil crayons, an oddly uncooperative medium. The crayons tend to make a crude, grainy mark, and they are only available in a spotty and idiosyncratic palette. Trying to get them under my control is an ongoing adventure.
